Jet Larsen (born August 21, 2039) is an American football cornerback who is currently preparing to enter the professional ranks.He played college football for Ohio State (OSU) and has declared his intent to enter the professional ranks next season.

Early years

Jet grew up in a small town just outside of Cleveland, Ohio. From the time he could walk, he didn’t go anywhere without a ball in his hand. While most kids wanted to watch videos on their iPad, Jet had to be torn away from his basketball hoop every night before bed. At the age of 12, Jet had already grown to a height of 6 ft, making him a giant among his peers. Naturally, coaches pushed him to focus on basketball. When he got to high school, that is what he did.

In short, Jet was a superstar. As a freshman, he immediately made the starting lineup and averaged 15.4 points per game, leading the team. After losing in the state championship as a Junior, Jet’s senior season smashed school records. He averaged 25 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists per game and was named Ohio Mr. Basketball, leading his team to their first ever state championship. A 4 star recruit, Jet fielded many offers from big time college basketball programs.

While there was no denying his success on the court, Jet’s true love was always with the game of football. After many long hours agonizing over a decision on his future, he made a shocking decision to drop basketball in the pursuit of a football career. Despite not playing in high school, he had received some offers from smaller schools, but Jet’s dream was to play in front of 100,000+ fans in Ohio Stadium. Trusting his own talents and work ethic, he enrolled at Ohio State.

College career

Because of his basketball career and his status in the state of Ohio, Ohio State offered Larsen a spot as a preferred walk-on to play cornerback. Though he did not play a snap in his freshman season, coaches noticed the energy that he brought to every single practice and by the end of the year he was offered a scholarship. After being redshirted in his first year, Jet played primarily special teams as a redshirt freshman. He finished the season with 3 tackles.

As a sophomore, Larsen was still buried on the depth chart behind highly rated recruits. Fans familiar with his high school basketball career loudly asked for him to play on social media, but Jet respected the process and worked towards earning his spot. Over the course of the year, he began to get a reputation for being an elite gunner. In the final regular season game of the season, he blocked a punt against Michigan and returned it for a touchdown, helping cement a 34-23 victory over their hated rival.

Coming into his Junior season, Jet was finally expected to see the field as a defensive starter. While some members of the media had doubts about him, they were squashed immediately. In his first ever defensive drive as a starter, Jet jumped a curl route and returned it for a touchdown. Big plays started to become a trend for Larsen, who led the nation in interceptions and forced 5 fumbles. Again, Larsen played the hero in their 35-31 victory over Michigan as he came up with the game-sealing interception with 10 seconds left. However, the desire to make the big play was a double-edged sword. While Jet was becoming a household name for his highlight reel plays, he had garnered criticism for occasionally playing outside his assignment and committing penalties. In the semifinals of the College Football Playoff, Larsen tried to jump a route and was beat for the game winning touchdown. While many expected him to make the jump to the pros after the season, Jet immediately announced he was going to return for his senior season, saying that he had let down the brotherhood.

As a Senior, Jet came into the season as preseason First Team All-Big Ten and was named a team captain. He spent the offseason working on his technique in hopes of preventing big plays and costly penalties. The training seemed to pay off, as Larsen went the whole season without committing a penalty. Ohio State went from allowing the 5th most 20+ yard plays the year before to allowing the least. Jet wasn’t on the highlight reel quite as often, but the Buckeyes had turned into a defensive powerhouse, allowing just 8.5 ppg. Unfortunately, the magical season took a turn when Larsen suffered a season ending injury in the Big Ten Championship game. The Buckeyes went on to win the game but were eliminated from the playoffs in the semifinals again. Despite the injury, he did get some recognition. Jet was named a finalist for the Jim Thorpe award and was named First Team All-Big Ten. While many questioned if coming back to school and getting injured hurt Jet’s draft stock, he says he would never regret coming back to play with his brothers and that he hopes his tape speaks for itself.
